Heroes of Normandie: Big Red One Edition

About this board game

Heroes of Normandie: Big Red One Edition is a two-player World War II strategy war game set in Normandy, with battles designed to take about 60 minutes. Inspired by Hollywood’s Golden Age war movies, it delivers fast-paced tactical conflicts between German and American forces.

This miniatures game without miniatures places players in the French countryside of summer 1944, where hedgerows, fields, machine guns, and artillery shape the battlefield. Deploy your units, plan attacks in secret, and try to outwit your opponent as the fight unfolds.

Order tokens determine initiative while also giving players opportunities to bluff. A single six-sided die resolves combat, and action cards add unexpected twists to the battle. Use these tools to block opposing plans, surprise enemy units, and push your strategy forward.

• Fast, explosive tactical battles for two players
• German and American armies facing off in Normandy
• Order tokens that support initiative decisions and bluffing
• Six-sided-die combat and action cards that influence play
• Flamethrowers included in the core box

The Big Red One Edition streamlines the experience with 50-card decks instead of 70, featuring new Alternate Bonuses for faster play and reduced setup time. It also includes a new and improved rule book, new scenarios, and new Tactical Objectives.

Additional updates include an improved Aircraft system available in Bloody Omaha, all-new artwork for the Heroes, new Blast Templates, and new Heroes. With its cinematic theme and focused tactical play, Heroes of Normandie: Big Red One Edition brings brutal, high-energy battles to the tabletop.
